Here's a great video on the Sopwith Camel flying with a Spitfire

Yeah, yeah, yeah! Hubby and I just got done watching it together. Loved it through and through.
Camels were exceedingly tricky planes to fly because of their revolving engine/prop. Scary! 
Loved the burp-burp of that rotary engine. Very distinctive. And then there was the Spitfire. Well what can I say about that plane, except WAY COOL! She was a beauty!
To see them fly side by side was quite a sight since that Spit was flying at near stall speed to fly next to the Sop which was flying full throttle.
Thanks for that. Three cheers.

I was suprised at the quality of the video. I am wondering if it has something to do with a new movie trailer that I saw yesterday.
It sure took alot of guts to climb into the cockpit of one of those

The quality was top-notch Chris. Crisp, clear and made you want to be in the plane. I think I'll stick with the Spit though. While the Sop sounds cool, I'd be a bit, no more than a bit leary to get in that old thing.

Them poor chaps that had to fly that old plane. Probably stone deaf by the time they were 20.
Cool video, thanks for sharing.

God bless those heroes who suffered and died, for plain folks, like you and me.
War is a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.
